Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland, Paolo Maldini present as Manchester City goalkeeper Donnarumma Weds Wife in Italy (videos)

Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has married his long-time partner and childhood sweetheart, Alessia Elefante.

The couple wed in Italy, celebrating with a grand ceremony in Locorotondo.

Donnarumma and Elefante, an interior designer, first met in 2016 in their hometown of Castellammare di Stabia near Naples. Together for a decade, they welcomed their son, Leo, in 2024.

The pair had previously teased their impending nuptials on social media, playfully announcing their engagement with an Instagram post that read:

"Long-term contract signed."

Several prominent football personalities attended the celebrations, including Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland, Sandro Tonali, Paolo Maldini, Mateo Kovacic, and Nicolò Barella.

Haaland attended the ceremony alongside his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, after spending part of his post-World Cup break in Italy. The Norwegian striker remains one of the tournament's biggest stars, having helped Norway reach the last eight while attracting millions of new followers across social media during the competition.

Donnarumma joined Manchester City last summer from PSG for £26 million, winning the FA Cup and League Cup in his debut campaign with the club.
